Bret is being tough on that weasel!

BO was owned in that interview. I was however screaming at the TV because he NEVER answers a question. Bret did a great job of TRYING to get him to answer. But the viewers I think saw it for what it was.

Didn’t watch, but old Rupert has never gotten one of my dollars to tear down our Democracy. I’ll read about this fledgling hack disrespectfully interrupting our President, though, and make up my own mind.

I agree Michelle. Pres Obama tried to dodge the questions. The most amazing thing to me is that even HE didn’t seem to know what is in the bill. Plus Brett mentioned deals that were cut for Connecticut and Montana that I had never heard of before, and I thought I had heard of just about all of them.

Like GBeck said, If the rest of the press did their job the way they are supposed to, i.e., like Fox, this bill would have been consigned to the “ash heap of history” a long time ago.

You are correct Asarkhan, the public could tell he didn’t know or wouldn’t say what was in there and that was priceless. The only thing the left has to say is Bret was rude, which I knew they would because it’s what they always do. It’s like with Beck then can NEVER dispute what he says. so they just attack him personally, but people can see through that. Bret HAD to interupt him because BO would NOT answer a question and would filibuster on another topic. I think the 80% of American’s that consider themselves Con’s or I”s could see that. I suspect the 20% that are libs think it too, but wouldn’t NEVER admit it. That’s ok though.

sorry, spelled your name wrong!

Jim R. Maybe you should actually watch the thing before giving an opinion. If you ever decided to put your partisan blinders aside, you would see that Bret Baier did a wonderful job, as did Obama.

Oh SWWT, you had me until you said As did Obama. Do you really believe that or are you just trying to be polite?

Staying on topic, I’m glad to see a boss stick up for his folks. It must be remembered also that Ailes has a business to run, so he can’t be faulted for that. He could be cold and detached, but that he views his talent as family says a lot about the man – and even MORE about the folks that work at Fox. He earns their loyalty and respect. I admire Ailes.

P.S. My money is on Shep. He’s made “read-between-the-lines” comments that were CLEARLY aimed at trying to discredit Beck. Anybody there who would be chagrined at Beck’s ratings should remember that Beck doesn’t just bring ratings to HIS 1-hour there; he brings ratings to the ENTIRE network!

There you have it folks, confirmed once again, straight from the pig’s trap:

- —-

Ailes touched on freedom of speech while he noted Beck’s show is “his opinion, it’s not the opinion of Fox News” and said: “News is very expensive to do…it’s a business, I have to run a business; as well as a news-disseminating business.”

What a disingenuous and insulting POS.

The Fox gNOpig Propaganda Network IS PAYING MILLIONS to the s*** flinging Baboon Beck to rail the mob of ignorant teabaggers.

Sounds like a great business extrateregy you got there, Roger. Pay a drug addicted clown millions to taint and discredit you news operation.

B R I L L I A N T !

Reminds me of W’s Whiney Debate when he complainedabout the hard work he had to do as president. Must have the same writer.

Now come on King, Obama and everyone around him has done nothing but blame Bush for everything since they got into office!

My comment about W is not some exoneration of President Obama, Michelle. I may have ultimately supported Obama in the primaries and voted for him (or under our quaint system of “restrained” democracy, for the electors who would vote for him) in the general election, and based on what I am seeing out there at the moment, I will likely vote for him again, but he does not escape my criticism. He inherited a huge, huge mess, perhaps an even greater mess than Roosevelt inherited from Hoover, but he has been less than focused, energetic and aggressive in his handling of it. President Obama deserves a great amount of criticism, even if, in my mind, W deserves far more. Critcizing one is not an exoneration of the other.

How much ought we make of the distancing Ailes seems to be making from Beck? I have no doubt that if Ailes felt it would improve ratings, he would run continuous loops of dogs defecating and cats fornicating. In fact, some might argue that is exactly what he does now, every evening. So, I don’t want to suggest I think Beck is any sort of immediate danger. The Beck Debacle (Massa interview) may have softened Beck up a bit, ready for a punch each and every one of his FOX colleagues wants to throw, but as long as Ailes can make money off the G. Gordon Liddy tiny dollar bill and miracle seed commercials and use Beck as a strong lead in for the evening program, Beck is secure. Is what Ailes said preemptive? Is Ailes creating a distance so that when Beck’s head explodes and birds of prey, people in old fashioned wheel chairs and semi-clad women begin ouring out, Ailes won’t be soiled? I don’t think there is an answer, but I find Ailes’ comments very interesting.

Also interesting is the admission on in-breeding at FOX, sorry, I meant in-fighting. Ailes (and Murdoch) have always been circumspect about such matters until now. We’re led to believe that much of the animosity is from O’Reilly. I am sure there is so, given O’Reilly’s Outback-sized ego, but I suspect the whiny, groveling Hannity is much more behind this.

Yawn. We get it, (White) Royal. You hate Fox. You don’t watch it, but know every word they say. They’re unimportant and have no ratings to speak of compared to the big three, yet you feel compelled to jump on them in almost every post. It must be tough following all those different voices in your head telling you what to do.

I’ve not seen any spin that Hannity or O’Reilly are behind any FNC in-house criticism of Beck. Did the piece on the matter that was published here a day or so ago, intimate that? Howard Kurtz certainly didn’t.

The fact that “sources” say that Ailes took it to the D.C. office would be indicative that it wasn’t the opinion people who were complaining. THAT was my first consideration (and it seemed to be the more obvious one) before the news of an Ailes “come to Jesus” ever arose.

I don’t know where the notion that Ailes is backing off Beck came from other than his not being at the FNC table at the Radio and Correspondents dinner.

Just going on Ailes’ alledged comments, he seemed to be telling the D.C. journalists that Beck paid their way and not to let the door hit them in the butt if they couldn’t live with his being a part of the FNC crib.

I have to say, Righter, you’re always correct, except when you’re incorrect, which is always. Keep ‘em coming, however. It’s like a Benny Hill marathon!

Um, TRRK, you are always expressing your disdain for Fox, and you are always reporting on what went on there. And you are always pointing out that Fox’s ratings are meaningless next to the big networks. So exactly what was it that writer said that was incorrect?
